Filling System Cartridge filler which takes the small international cartridge, so you aren't limited to just using MB cartridges. To use the pen, remove the cap and screw it onto the end of the barrel, which also extends the nib. When you are finished writing, you remove the cap frm the end of the barrel, which serves to retract the nib. Flip open the end piece to access the nipple for the cartridge. (A converter will not fit.)
Color Black resin with a grid guilloche pattern, and platinum plated trim. Similated onyx set in clip.
Nib Medium 4810 Montblanc 18k white gold nib, rhodium plated. It's firm and smooth with lots of tipping material.
Condition Near mint condition. No cracks, chips, dings or dents, or personalization. There is some very light handwear and polishing marks on the pen, but it still looks very sharp. The nib retracts easily.
Note: the outer cardboard box is labeled for model 8584, but the booklet inside says the model is 8575, which is the larger-sized Doue. The pen in this listing is the smaller sized 8584.
